| File | Issue | Fix Applied |
|------|-------|-------------|
| `internal/api/handlers/cerberus_logs_ws_test.go:101,169,248,325,399` | `bodyclose: response body must be closed` | Added `//nolint:bodyclose` comment - WebSocket Dial response body is consumed by the dial |
| `internal/api/handlers/cerberus_logs_ws_test.go:442,445` | `deferInLoop: Possible resource leak, 'defer' is called in the 'for' loop` | Moved defer outside loop into a single cleanup function |
| `internal/api/handlers/cerberus_logs_ws_test.go:488` | `httpNoBody: http.NoBody should be preferred to the nil request body` | Changed `nil` to `http.NoBody` |
| `internal/caddy/config_extra_test.go:302` | `filepathJoin: "/data" contains a path separator` | Used string literal `/data/logs/access.log` instead of `filepath.Join` |
| `internal/services/log_watcher.go:91` | `typeUnparen: could simplify type conversion` | Added explanatory nolint comment - conversion required for channel comparison |
| `internal/services/log_watcher.go:302` | `equalFold: consider replacing with strings.EqualFold` | Replaced with `strings.EqualFold(k, key)` |
| `internal/services/log_watcher.go:310` | `builtinShadowDecl: shadowing of predeclared identifier: min` | Renamed function from `min` to `minInt` |

**Final Result:** 0 issues

## Files Modified During Audit

1. `backend/internal/api/handlers/cerberus_logs_ws_test.go`
   - Added nolint directives for bodyclose on WebSocket Dial calls
   - Fixed defer in loop resource leak
   - Used http.NoBody for non-WebSocket request test

2. `backend/internal/caddy/config_extra_test.go`
   - Fixed filepath.Join with path separator issue
   - Removed unused import `path/filepath`

3. `backend/internal/services/log_watcher.go`
   - Renamed `min` function to `minInt` to avoid shadowing builtin
   - Used `strings.EqualFold` for case-insensitive comparison
   - Added nolint comment for required type conversion

---

## Recommendations

None - all checks pass and the codebase is in good condition.
